I'm curious....
I know there's been a drive at some colleges to ban military recuiters.
Has Pasadena City College been a big player in this?
I just wonder if this pathetic excuse for a senator was engaging in the lowest form of pandering.
In regard to the incredibly biased remarks above, I love that Kerry's remarks can't be disgusting in their own right. No, instead they're only notable according to these writers because the Republicans want to cover up their record according to ABC News, sounding ever so much like a Democratic Congressional leader.
But the record of 12 years of Republican control of Congress is welfare reform, tax cuts, a strong economy, a surplus during the 90s, a stronger military, greatly enhanced homeland security, a whole host of reforms to government and on and on. Indeed, 90% of what Clinton claimed the credit for in the 90s was actually done by a Republican Congress.
This Congress' record just in the last 2 years isn't insignificant either, though the obstructionist creep Harry Reid used parliamentary manuvears to bottle most of it up once it got to the Senate. Just look at what this Congress tried to get done that the Democrats blocked:
And the incredibly biased comment about how President Bush has waged the war needs little comment. How about how ABC and other news outlets have COVERED the war with their nothing but negative coverage of Iraq?
All sKErry had to say is that he misspoke and that his joke didn't come out the way it was intended to. Make a simple apology and move on...BUTTTTTTTTTTTT NOOOOOOOOO the freakin doofus had to insert foot in mouth! I BET YOU, I bet a million bucks, if I had it, that the RATS are crying in their RATHOLES wishing this moron would have kept his trap shut! I can just hear the gnashing of teeth on the RATS phones and cells.......GOOD!
Or I'm stuck on stupid.
A Mic he knocked off the stand btw...LOL
You can tell the Libs are steamed at Kerry. They didn't try to distort Rush's comments or take shots at him. They reserved their bite for Kerry.
I doubt it. PCC is just a community college, and quite a good one, that's not particularly known for political activism.
Bush became a fighter pilot after he got his BA from Yale. This joke was NOT directed at President Bush!
BTW Kerry had to go in the service since his grades didn't allow him another deferment!
Pray for W and Our Troops
Both men went to Yale, where the President got better grades. Kerry was a D student.
Bush, not being gifted with verbal eloquence, is assumed, and protrayed, to be stupid by the democrats on that basis alone. Whether they know better or not, they deliberately propagate the notion as part of their continuous strategy to make hatred of him the central vehicle for their return to power. VEry Marxist, by the way, but what's new?
I think Kerry as even the defeated Pres. candidate for the Dems. in 2004 is still seen as being a leading Democrat by virtue of that. The biggest impact of this is it will help get out whatever reluctant bit of the GOP base there still is that was thinking of sitting out the election. I don't think it will turn many if any from voting Democrat to Republican. No, the bigger value is in keeping the GOP base fired up. In a close election like this, even a passing dent can have a big impact and make a difference. We'll have to see.
The question now on the table is - will Kerry have the courage to take a principled resignation before the election on Tuesday? Or will he stay on as a sparring punching bag to doom his party before Big Tuesday '08?
Don't forget BOXER/Hilary in 08!
John Kerrys statement that only losers join the military aligns precisely with his uncorroborated testimony before Congress about how I, and others of TF116, committed unspeakable atrocities against the South Vietnamese. In my little corner of the war our boats and ships were ordered not to return fire from the village of Nam Can as they transited to and from Seafloat. We were expected to gut it out through the kill zone, because the village was designated by us as a sanctuary from the war for civilians.
Now he regards my son who joined the Marine Corps infantry out of high school as intellectually failed, and never considers the possibility that he may have deferred college to serve his nation. My son had the aptitude scores and security clearance to serve a tour with Marine Presidential Security Forces, before joining Third Battalion Fourth Marines security.
Life has come full circle.
Hope you're right, my friend!

I'll second that.

Yes, Bush went to Yale for his undergraduate studies, Harvard for his post-grad.
